I am getting a breast augmentation and I want to...

I am getting a breast augmentation and I want to make sure everything I was suggested is correct for my situation. Ultimately I would like a doughnut lift with implants but was told there's a possibility I wouldn't be able to breast feed after. It is important to me that when I decide to have children I can breast feed them. With this said I have decided to just go with breast implants and wait until after I children to get a lift ( in about 10+ years) I want to go quite a bit larger with the implant, right now I am a deflated 34D, about a year ago I was a full 32DDD. I haven't lost weight but my breast tissue has dissapeared, I'm not sure why. I am 5'8" 165lbs my bwd is 13.5 & 14 my left breast is slightly larger and lower, which doesn't bother me and I know will still be the same after surgery. I believe I was told my one nipple is 1 cm above the crease and my other one is at the crease. I have included pictures to help show what I currently have to work with. My board certified PS said I should go with mentor silicone moderate plus textured implants, placed over the muscle, inframammary crease incision. I chose 492cc to get me to my desired look and size. I understand why he wants to do over the muscle (so I don't have my implant and then my real breast hanging off the implant/ double bubble) but will this cause any problems in decrease blood flow to my nipples going submammory? I have to be able to breast feed one day and I would like a lift after I'm done having children. Would it be possible to go under the muscle and still have a normal looking breast since my implants are so large at 492cc? Or would dual plane work? I am also worried about doing over the muscle because there isn't as much support as you get from the muscles in the under the muscle technique and I don't want to decrease blood supply to my nipples for reasons of wanting a lift later on in life and breast feeding. I have gone to multiple board certified plastic surgeons and they all said something different. Im looking for suggestions in the best technique for my situation. Thank you for your responses in advance.

I personally just went from a 34 C to a 34 DD about two weeks ago. I had 600cc ultra high profile mentor silicone under the muscle without complication. I chose for him to go under the breast which was the best decision because you can not see any scarring unless I lift my arms all the way up. In fact the sensitivity in my nipples has increased tremendously, the wind can blow and I know it. I wanted similar results to your wish pics and my results are great, although they are not as big as I thought they were going to be (700cc would have been perfect for me which is what my PS suggested but it just sounded like such a big number it kinda freaked me out). This doesn't answer your questions, but hopefully will help in some way. I say go big now you can always go down later on.

Oh wow 700cc that's some serious boobage. I wish my PS would go a tad bigger with mine but he said I shouldn't go over 492cc. I hope 492 is enough for me since you went from a C to a DD with 600cc! Thanks for your comment :)

I just had 492cc over the muscle, but moderate profile. Wish I had gone bigger :(

I'm worried 492 mod+ won't be big enough also. I feel like 533cc would be perfect. My PS told me its too big and said the bigger the implant the more sagging that will occur and I'm already saggy enough! Lol

Under the muscle is best for future Breast feeding according to my PC. This is also very important to me too. I'm going under.

I was told by multiple board certified PS over the muscle doesn't harm breast feeding at all either. That both ways are fine. Plus I still have 100% nipple sensation so everything should be just fine... I had to go over bc of the sagging I had in my breasts, it was the only way to ensure I wouldn't end up with my breast implant and my real breast tissue hanging below it.

My PS suggested I don't go larger than 492cc mod+. I hope that is big enough, I was thinking the 533cc mod+ would be more what I was looking for since I am 5'8" 165lbs. What's everyone's opinion on this?

So I'm 5'8 150lbs and I am leaning towards 475cc for myself and trying those sizers made me feel huge lol I'm so worried I will either go too big or too small.

I think most people that get under 550 always wish they had gone a little bigger. That's what I'm reading in most posts at least. Plus we are both tall I was told taller girls can get bigger implants and look Ok bc our height makes them seem smaller.

Hello! What size did you end up going with? I am in the same boat i am tall and have a 15 BWD! My PS thinks 550 is way too big on me but i don't want to regret not going big enough...we agreed on 450 but he ordered 450 and 500 to try in surgery just in case. I am 6 ft 190, i have gained a few pounds and usually am around 180. I am eager to see what you went with...keep us posted!

I'm 5'8" 160lbs my bwd is 13.5 & 14. I started naturally with a 32DD bra size. I ended up getting 507cc textured moderate plus profile, over the muscle (subglandular). I had my surgery 5/7/15 at 7 am and I am quite swollen still and I haven't taken off my surgery bra just yet. I definitely don't think I went too big. I am pretty sure I would have been unhappy with anything smaller than the 500cc range. I can't really gauge how big they will end up since they are still funny looking, riding kind of high and swollen.
